Technical Operation Domains
The efforts in Technical Operations are categorized into four Domains: Process Enablers, Analytic Enablers, Transformational Enablers, Application Enablers.
Working groups are assigned to one of these domains.
Project teams often cross these domains and frequently consist of collaboration among different working groups.
Within Technical Operations we share the following beliefs
- We apply Systems Engineering to what we do and how we do it.
- We are all volunteers, so we back up each other and actively recruit new volunteers to support our efforts.
- We strive to deliver what we promise at a high level of quality.
- Systems Engineering practitioners are our customers.
- We are servant leaders, removing barriers while following the intent of INCOSE policy.
- We apply INCOSE values and principles when setting our priorities.
- We are evolving to an “impactful professional society”.
